Modified Thermodilution for Simultaneous Cardiac Output and Recirculation Assessment in Veno-venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Authors: David Berger, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology May 2024, Vol. 140, 1002–1015. Background Thermodilution is unreliable in veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Systemic oxygenation depends on recirculation fractions and ratios of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) flow to cardiac output. In a prospective in vitro simulation, this study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of a modified thermodilution technique for […]

State-related Electroencephalography Microstate Complexity during Propofol- and Esketamine-induced Unconsciousness

Authors: Zhenhu Liang, Ph.D. et al  Anesthesiology May 2024, Vol. 140, 935–949. Background Identifying the state-related “neural correlates of consciousness” for anesthetics-induced unconsciousness is challenging. Spatiotemporal complexity is a promising tool for investigating consciousness. The authors hypothesized that spatiotemporal complexity may serve as a state-related but not drug-related electroencephalography (EEG) indicator during an unconscious state induced […]

Direct vs. Video Laryngoscopy

 Radius Anesthesia Endotracheal intubation is a procedure performed in various settings, including the OR, emergency departments, and critical care units. It may be necessary in situations where a patient is experiencing acute respiratory failure, inadequate oxygenation or ventilation, or has a compromised airway due to depressed mental status, including under anesthesia. Successful intubation requires careful patient […]

Launching a Preanesthesia Clinic at the University of Wisconsin

Author: Madeline Talbot ASA Monitor May 2024, Vol. 88, 32. When Kelly McQueen, MD, MPH, FASA, joined the staff of the University of Wisconsin (UW) School of Medicine and Public Health, she knew the Department of Anesthesiology was ready to take the next step in providing world-class care. As historically the first academic anesthesiology department […]
